"Not only is this enjoyable pop, but the lyrics are either very witty, or very powerful. 22 is cruelly depressing, Chinese was the sweetest song I've heard in a while, Back To The Start was disturbingly relatable, and Him gave me chills. Very strong piece of work here." Reply

"Holy cow this is an awesome album. Not the Destroyer I'm used to. Much earlier sound, more like Velvet Underground meets indie rock? Somewhat Dylan plus some Bowie musically? Mountain Goats? Whatever it is, it's fantastic!" Reply

"Essential listening in the "Mott the Hoople" catalogue, and one of the great albums of the seventies. Stand out tracks are "All the Way from Memphis," "Hymn for the Dudes," and "I wish I were Your Mother," however there isn't a weak song on the entire album. Although Mott's LPs "All the Young Dud..."

"I think I like Atlas Sound even better than Deerhunter, but then I listen to Deerhunter and the opposite is true. Two great bands who prove to me that even when I reach my nineties there will almost still be great new bands out there to discover." Reply

"Not a very original album for the post-punk genre. There are traces of Joy Division, Interpol, Wire, The Strokes, and even some Stooges thrown all over the record. But anyway, not every album has to be a groundbreaking milestone of some kind, right? The songs are raw-sounding and pretty well-writ..." [+] Reply

"Much better than MC5 indeed, than the NY Dolls as well, and about as great as The Stooges at their peak. Some really dirty-ass proto-punk with furious guitar riffs, a flawless record, and it's only 25 minute long. Get on it." Reply

"If there's one Los Lobos album that cannot be ignored it is undoubtedly "Kiko". You can draw parallels to the Kinks' '"Village Green Preservation Society" or the Beatles' "Sgt Pepper's." Two albums that have become classics because musical details have met in a higher unity. These three albums ha..." [+] Reply
"Very hard bop.ll played and rhythmically challenging album is not for everybody. Requires many listens to be evaluated properly" Reply
